MR. STEWABT’S BILL.
IT WILL BE TO HAVE GOLD DE-MONETIZED
And Make Silver tlie Sole Standard of
American Valnea and the Sole Basis
ot American Currency.
Washington, Aug. 11.—[Spe-cial.]—
Senator William M. Stew-art,
of Nevada, tall of frame, big
of bone, muscular withal and
bearded like a sexagenarian pard,
is responsible for the introduction
of some very remarkable measures,
which any man may see by a
cursory examination of the con-gressional
record. He fails in-variably
to see anything funny in
what he says and does. Not so
with outsiders. He has brought
into the senate chamber, hushed
and holy as is the atmosphere of
that sacrosanct place, a breath of
his own western freedom and
something of the western lack of
reverence for anything save might
of mind or body.
One of the measures which he
contemplates is as remarkable in
its way as the personality of its
creator. It will he introduced at
the earliest opportunity. In its
defence he will expend much in-genuity,
lung tissue and the fruits
of historical research while others
laugh. He will not laugh himself.
It is nothing less than a bill to de -
monetize gold, making silver the
sole standard of American values
and the sole basis of the American
currency.
His reasons for this are, more-over,
all formulated unaided.
Chief of them is his assertion that
gold is a3 liable to fluctuation as
silver. Money based upon it
should have no more rigidity than
the bits of tinted paper which pro-claim
that the holder hereof has
deposited with the treasurer of the
United States ten silvdr dollars.
Along in the early fifties, says
Senator Stewart, when he was a
young man and not so much inter-ested
in politics as at present, the
discovery of gold in California
was followed by the discovery of
gold in Australia. Thereupon the
wise acres of Europe, the financial
Mahatmas, the men who never
made a mistake, those who know
finance as the watchmaker knows
the wheels of the time piece, laid
their heads together and from this
propinquity of mighty intellect,
came the further discovery that
gold would in time become as
cheap as dirt. It was everywhre,
they said, the commonest of met-als.
The outputs of the California
fields proved it. Therefore gold
was no good as a money
metal. In short, the arguments
used against it were exactly the
same "as those now used against
silver. It is a matter of history
that the bankers and financiers of
Europe sent agents to Washington
who kept open house. They at-tempted
to -iwchice the congress
then in session to take measures
looking to the restriction of gold
produced in the then territory of
California. They spent money,
but their acquaintance with our
system of laws, though not with
our law makers, being lamentably
restricted, they failed.
Senator Stewart will introduce
his gold demonetizing hill and in
the course of the lengthy speech of
which, as a matter of course, he
will be delivered, will cite this his-torical
incident with a great deal
of satisfaction to himself. He does
not expect to secure a single vote
in its favor, hut he will foregather
with an opportunity to talk, will
amuse the people in the gallery
and will emphasize his opinion
that silver is the prime metal of
earth. Canfield.
THE FIGHT IS ON.
BLAND IN NAME BUT NOT IN
NATURE.
The Great Silver Advocate Makes Dire
and Ominous Threats at Eastern Demo-crats—
A JLlvely Day in the House.
Mattie C. Shann's Trial Began.
Trenton, N. J., Aug. 11.—The
trial of Mrs. Mattie 0. Shann, a
widow of Princeton, for the murder
of her 20-year-old son, John, by a
blow and painful course of poison-ing,
was begun here to-day. The
prisoner is refined in appearance
and ladylike in manner and the ob-ject
of her alleged crime is said to
be to secure $2100, the amount of
an insurance on his life. Accord-ing
to the state’s allegation she
procured the hoys death by the ad-ministration
of bichloride of mer-cury,
giving it to him in his drink
and food in such a manner as to
rob him of his strength gradually.
The hoy died April 18 last. .Mrs.
Shann’s husband died last Novem-her
under circumstances that were
considered peculiar, and this sec-ond
death in the family directed
suspicion to Mrs. Shann, which was
intensified when it was discovered
that the boy had been disembow-eled
soon after death. A jury was
impaneled to-day and the case
opened. It is likely to last for some
days.
Cleveland In New York.
New York, Aug. 11.—President
Cleveland arrived at Jersey City at
12:27. Cleveland was driven to
the Victoria hotel where he re-mained
till evening. The Presi-dent
and Secretary Lamont then
left for Buzzard’s Bay, where La-mont
will stay until Monday. The
length of Cleveland’s stay at the
Bay is uncertain. Dr. Jos. D.
Bryant, of this city, is with the
party.
Washington, Aug. 11.—“We do
not intend that any political party
shall survive that will lay its con-fiscating
hand upon America in the
interest of England and Europe
and demonetize silver in this
country, and, friends of the East-ern
Democracy, we bid you fare-well
when you do it.” These were
the words of Richard P. Bland
in the great financial con-test
that opened in the house
to-day, and the applause that
followed that determined utter-ance
demonstrated that the great
silver leader had with him the ma-terial
element of the Democratic
party. It brought every member
of the house to the realization that
the most serious crisis in the Dem-ocratic
party since the dissension
of slavery was at band and that the
division of 1893, like the division
of 1861, would be largely on sec-tional
lines.
In accordance with the pro-gramme
last night agreed upon
Wilson immediately after the meet-ing
of the house introduced a bill
unconditionally repealing the Sher-man
purchasing law, and Bland,
on behalf of the free coinage men,
followed with a resolution provid-ing
for the immediate considera-tion
of the bill and alloting four-teen
days for general debate before
the vote is taken. The resolution
of procedure was drawn to espe-cially
secure the silver men in their
demands for separate votes on free
coinage of the various ratios
proposed, but is so explicit as to
call for a final vote on the repeal-ing
hill at the termination of the
debate whether the silver amend-ments
prevail or not. Thus in the
house at least the fear of filibuster-ing
is allayed and both parties are
arrayed in line for a fair fight and
few favors.
Speeches of the day were marked
for their intensity of feeling and
revealed a wide difference of opin-ion
in party ranks.
Raynor, of Maryland, was frank
enough to unqualifiedly declare for
monometallism under present con-ditions,
and presented arguments
of the repealing men in the
strongest possible light.
Bland electrified the house by
his warning that the Democratic
party would know silver men no
more if it assisted in the last
drama in demonetization of silver,
and the young silver representative
from Colorado made one of the
strongest maiden, speeches heard
in the halls of congress within the
last decade,- excepting only the
eloquent tariff oration that brought
fame to Bryan, of Nebraska, some
years ago.
Wilson, of West Virginia, offered
for the present consideration a
bill to^ repeal the purchase part
of the Sherman act.
Bland presented the following:
Be it ordered" by the house that
house bill No. 1 be taken up for
immediate consideration and con-sidered
fourteen days, and during
such consideration night sessions
may be held for debate only at the
request of either side. Daily ses-sions
to commence at 11 a. m. and
continue until 5 p. m. Eleven days
of debate on the hill will be given
to general debate. Under the rules
of the last house, regulating gen-etal
debate, time shall he equally
divided between the two sides as
the speaker may direct. The
last three days of debate may be
devoted to the consideration of the
bill and amendments as herein pro-vided
under the usual five minute
rule of the house as in committee
of the whole. General leave to
print is hereby granted. The vote
is to be taken, first on the amend-ment
providing for the coinage of
silver at the present ratio. If that
fails then a separate vote will be
had on a similar amendment pro-posing
a ratio of 17 to 1; if that
fails, on 18 to 1; if that fails 19
to 1, and if that fails, 20 to 1. If
all fail it will be in
order for an amendment reviving
the act of February 28, 1878, re-storing
the standard silver dollar,
commonly known as the Bland-
Allison act. The vote will then be
taken on engrossment, and the
third reading of the bill as
amended, or on the hill itself, if
all the amendments have been voted
down, and on the final passage of
| the bill without an intervening
■ motion.
I Bland then presented the hill of
the silver men which provides for
free coinage and repeals the silver
purchasing act.
Raynor, Democrat, of Maryland,
was the first speaker, and said he
was in favor of an unqualified re-peal
of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman hill without any con-dition
or proviso whatsoever. He
had no hostility whatever to the
use of silver on its proper basis as
a circulating medium but after an
earnest consideration he was con-vinced
beyond all doubt and ques-tion
its recognition as a circulat-ing
medium without an interna-tional
agreement was a financial
undertaking utterly impossible of
accomplishment except at the risk
of ruin and disaster.
Brown, Democrat, of Indiana,
expressed himself in favor of the
free coinage of silver, but in view
of the havoc to business brought
about by the Sherman law, and in
view of the declarations of the
Democratic platform at Chicago,
he would vote for the repeal of the
Sherman law in any event, condi-tions
or no conditions. He thought
the President was in favor of the
coinage of both gold and silver,
without discriminating against
either metal, and that the Presi-dent
would redpem every pledge
and promise made in accepting the
Democratic nomination.
Bland was then recognized by
the speaker. He expressed regret
that a number of gentlemen had
changed their opinions on the sil-ver
question. The gentleman who
had just spoken had retreated from
a part of the Chicago platform—
from that part of all others that
had j contributed to give him
his seat inQ the house. He had
turned his face toward the east
and his hack toward the west. The
Sherman law was the only law on
the statute books That looked to
the use of silvef as the money of
the country. He knew at the
time of its passage that the ele-ment
that was striving to secure
its passage was the element op-posed
to free coinage. He knew
at the time that that element would
demand its repeal at the first mo-ment
it saw an opportunity. The
repeal of the Sherman act has been
a part of the Chicago platform.
The other part has been the decla-ration
for the use of both gold and
silver as the money of the country.
Speaking for the people he repre-sented,
he understood the free
coinage of silver to be in accord-ance
with the platform, and that
was necessarily the repeal of the
Sherman law. The two laws could
not exist together. They were in-consistent.
Bland appealed to members
to stand by bi-mettalism and
not obey the command of Shy-locks.
The money requirements
of the United States with® its vast
wealth, industry and energy, its
people were equal to those of Eng-land,
France and Germany com-bined,
and the whole civilized
world would have to look to this
country for its future monetary

of debate on the hill will be given
to general debate. Under the rules
of the last house, regulating gen-etal
debate, time shall he equally
divided between the two sides as
the speaker may direct. The
last three days of debate may be
devoted to the consideration of the
bill and amendments as herein pro-vided
under the usual five minute
rule of the house as in committee
of the whole. General leave to
print is hereby granted. The vote
is to be taken, first on the amend-ment
providing for the coinage of
silver at the present ratio. If that
fails then a separate vote will be
had on a similar amendment pro-posing
a ratio of 17 to 1; if that
fails, on 18 to 1; if that fails 19
to 1, and if that fails, 20 to 1. If
all fail it will be in
order for an amendment reviving
the act of February 28, 1878, re-storing
the standard silver dollar,
commonly known as the Bland-
Allison act. The vote will then be
taken on engrossment, and the
third reading of the bill as
amended, or on the hill itself, if
all the amendments have been voted
down, and on the final passage of
| the bill without an intervening
■ motion.
I Bland then presented the hill of
the silver men which provides for
free coinage and repeals the silver
purchasing act.
Raynor, Democrat, of Maryland,
was the first speaker, and said he
was in favor of an unqualified re-peal
of the purchasing clause of
the Sherman hill without any con-dition
or proviso whatsoever. He
had no hostility whatever to the
use of silver on its proper basis as
a circulating medium but after an
earnest consideration he was con-vinced
beyond all doubt and ques-tion
its recognition as a circulat-ing
medium without an interna-tional
agreement was a financial
undertaking utterly impossible of
accomplishment except at the risk
of ruin and disaster.
Brown, Democrat, of Indiana,
expressed himself in favor of the
free coinage of silver, but in view
of the havoc to business brought
about by the Sherman law, and in
view of the declarations of the
Democratic platform at Chicago,
he would vote for the repeal of the
Sherman law in any event, condi-tions
or no conditions. He thought
the President was in favor of the
coinage of both gold and silver,
without discriminating against
either metal, and that the Presi-dent
would redpem every pledge
and promise made in accepting the
Democratic nomination.
Bland was then recognized by
the speaker. He expressed regret
that a number of gentlemen had
changed their opinions on the sil-ver
question. The gentleman who
had just spoken had retreated from
a part of the Chicago platform—
from that part of all others that
had j contributed to give him
his seat inQ the house. He had
turned his face toward the east
and his hack toward the west. The
Sherman law was the only law on
the statute books That looked to
the use of silvef as the money of
the country. He knew at the
time of its passage that the ele-ment
that was striving to secure
its passage was the element op-posed
to free coinage. He knew
at the time that that element would
demand its repeal at the first mo-ment
it saw an opportunity. The
repeal of the Sherman act has been
a part of the Chicago platform.
The other part has been the decla-ration
for the use of both gold and
silver as the money of the country.
Speaking for the people he repre-sented,
he understood the free
coinage of silver to be in accord-ance
with the platform, and that
was necessarily the repeal of the
Sherman law. The two laws could
not exist together. They were in-consistent.
Bland appealed to members
to stand by bi-mettalism and
not obey the command of Shy-locks.
The money requirements
of the United States with® its vast
wealth, industry and energy, its
people were equal to those of Eng-land,
France and Germany com-bined,
and the whole civilized
world would have to look to this
country for its future monetary
